What is free software?

Free software is software that respects the 4 software freedoms. The 4 freedoms are

Please note: Free software does not relate to monetary price. Free software can be sold or gratis (no cost)

Rules:

  1. Please keep on topic

  5. No discussion of illegal content

Please report anything you believe to violate the rules and be sure to include rhetoric on why you think it should be removed.

If you would like to contest mod actions please DM me with your rational as to why you feel that the relivant mod action should be reversed. Remember to use rhetoric and to site any relevant sources. You will only get one chance to argue your point and continued harassment will result in a ban.

Overall this community is pretty laid back and none if the things list above normally are an issue.

Its not enough, and it wont be enough unless the bill is completely eradicated, and then laws are in placr that make OS maintainers and developers not responsible for the actions of users that happen to be using their software. This shit is a corporate attack by Zuck and his festering ilk to avoid responsibility on their own platforms. Fuck them, fuck anyone 'lawmaker' willing to entertain the idea. Do better, fucken educate yourselves. Its 2026 computers are going to reach the 100 year mark soon. You have no excuse for this level of ignorance when you aren't slaving away 9-12 hour days everu day like we are.
